Minetest-WorldEditAdditions

Extra tools and commands to extend WorldEdit for Minetest

If you can dream of it, it probably belongs here!

Current commands:

Quick Reference:

• //floodfill [<replace_node> [<radius>]]
• //overlay <node_name>
• //ellipsoid <rx> <ry> <rz> <node_name>
• //hollowellipsoid <rx> <ry> <rz> <node_name>
• //torus <major_radius> <minor_radius> <node_name>
• //hollowtorus <major_radius> <minor_radius> <node_name>
• //maze <replace_node> [<seed>]
• //maze3d <replace_node> [<seed>]
• //multi <command_a> <command_b> .....
• //yy
• //nn

//floodfill [<replace_node> [<radius>]]

Floods all connected nodes of the same type starting at pos1 with <replace_node> (which defaults to water_source), in a sphere with a radius of (which defaults to 50).

//floodfill
//floodfill water_source 50
//floodfill glass 25

//overlay <node_name>

Places <replace_node> in the last contiguous air space encountered above the first non-air node. In other words, overlays all top-most nodes in the specified area with <replace_node>.

Will also work in caves, as it scans columns of nodes from top to bottom, skipping every non-air node until it finds one - and only then will it start searching for a node to place the target node on top of.

Note that all-air columns are skipped - so if you experience issues with it not overlaying correctly, try //expand down 1 to add an extra node's space to your defined region.

//overlay grass
//overlay glass
//overlay grass_with_dirt

//ellipsoid <rx> <ry> <rz> <node_name>

Creates a solid ellipsoid at position 1 with the radius (rx, ry, rz).

//ellipsoid 10 5 15 ice
//ellipsoid 3 5 10 dirt
//ellipsoid 20 10 40 air

//hollowellipsoid <rx> <ry> <rz> <node_name>

Creates a hollow ellipsoid at position 1 with the radius (rx, ry, rz). Works the same way as //ellipsoid does.

//hollowellipsoid 10 5 15 glass
//hollowellipsoid 21 11 41 stone

//torus <major_radius> <minor_radius> <node_name>

Creates a solid torus at position 1 with the specified major and minor radii. The major radius is the distance from the centre of the torus to the centre of the circle bit, and the minor radius is the radius of the circle bit.

//torus 15 5 stone
//torus 5 3 meselamp

//hollowtorus <major_radius> <minor_radius> <node_name>

Creates a hollow torus at position 1 with the radius major and minor radii. Works the same way as //torus does.

//hollowtorus 10 5 glass
//hollowtorus 21 11 stone

//maze <replace_node> [<seed>]

Generates a maze using replace_node as the walls and air as the paths. Uses an algorithm of my own devising. It is guaranteed that you can get from every point to every other point in generated mazes, and there are no loops.

Requires the currently selected area to be at least 3x3x3.

//maze ice
//maze stone 1234

//maze3d <replace_node> [<seed>]

Same as //maze, but adapted for 3d - has all the same properties. Note that currently there's no way to adjust the height of the passageways generated (you'll need to scale the generated maze afterwards).

Requires the currently selected area to be at least 3x3 on the x and z axes.

//maze glass
//maze bush_leaves 12345

//multi <command_a> <command_b> <command_c> .....

Executes multi chat commands in sequence. Intended for WorldEdit commands, but does work with others too. Don't forget a space between commands!

//multi //1 //2 //shift z -10 //sphere 5 sand //shift z 20 //ellipsoid 5 3 5 ice
//multi //1 //hollowtorus 30 5 stone //hollowtorus 20 3 dirt //torus 10 2 dirt_with_grass
//multi /time 7:00 //1 //outset h 20 //outset v 5 //overlay dirt_with_grass //1 //2 //sphere 8 air //shift down 1 //floodfill //reset

//yy

Confirms the execution of a command if it could potentially affect a large number of nodes and take a while. Equivalent to WorldEdit's //y, but because of security sandboxing issues it's not really possible to hook into WorldEdit's existing command.

//yy

//nn

Prevents the execution of a command if it could potentially affect a large number of nodes and take a while. Equivalent to WorldEdit's //y, but because of security sandboxing issues it's not really possible to hook into WorldEdit's existing command.

//nn
